US Juflglng from the aotioes ol Ibe Rsfiner Combination or ring, tbe exceedingly bon' etl members thereof, ere becoming alarmed lest ibe producers movement (or ibutling down tbirt days lo order to reduce Ibe locka on band, now io operation, will prove success. For instance, yesterday and to day, member! of Ibe New York end of tbe combination Save been actively engaged in sending telegrams lo tbii end olber poinla Id tbe region, worded Mimewbal ae follow! "Market weak and fluctuating" "Be lieved among oil men hire tbe 80-dey move nwnt will prove a failure"; "No probebll Ity ol an advenes In tbe price of oil," to. Tbe reaaon of . Ibe transmitting of tbeee dispatches must be evident to all, it It to transparent. It la done for tbe porpoie Of odeaforlog lo undermine Ibe failb ol tbe producer In the autetaa of tbe movement, od to mialead tbem into Ibe belief tbat the price of oil oanaot go up, because they (the redner't combination) bold all tbe overplus took, or enough of it tooonlrol Ibe marke tor eu iodeBulte period to suit themselves, Let no producer put. any credence whet. vet la tbe itorlea elreulaied by tbe Comb! nation. Tbe mevement la bound to be iueoess,etplte tbe efforti of all tbe Com binations In obrialandoB. The truth ol the natter It Ibe Combina tion, lo tbelr greediness to possess them' selves of tbe entire buaineat and contiol it I their pleasure, no mailer whether Ibe producers and Ibt region became bankrupt or not, have overstepped tbe mark them' selves In olber words they have "strained at mat and swallowed camel." Tbat 700,000 barrels ol surplus slock purchased at tl.60 or fraolioo over per barrel, baa had to be drawo heavily opon to supply the demand for tunning their own refineries nd no more can be bought at tbat figure, consequently, like Crocket's coon, tbey will have to '-come down" nod buy $a oil and pay for it. For tbe further enlightenment ol this ring ol nlunderem Re&uer'e Combination late South Improvement Company a com' paoy, composed of such producers aa S. A. Woods, J as. 8. MoCray, N. 11. Payne, J as. Adams, and others, all possessed of ample means, Is about to be organised In Petrole um Centre for tbe purpose of building a large refioery at this polat. Tbey propose to produce tbelr own oil and refine li lo suit themselves. This will prove a blow dt reolly at the toot of the evil, namely, the UrU'wr'a Combination. This movement once eierted will prove a death blow to the C 'lu'itneuuu, tbereloie let it go lorward as rapidiy as possible, and let tbe other oil towns emulate, and the sooner will t'e &j ol redemption at aw neat. CRUDE AND HEFIMM The oil busloess Is divided aa above, with Interests depending on esob othr, yt ever senarale ami divided never for a moment Ideallstl. And to tbla diversify of Inter. eels existing, where t he Interests should be one, we may truthfully ascribe most all the fluctuations In values which charsstertze tbe business, and these are so rapid often as lo overwhelm flrma loo established and possessed of means is flnanoial ruin. A good paying price for crude, sustsioed any length of time, so stimulates produc lion and multiplies tbe wells as to glut the market, while a large margin between crude and refined, in favor of the latter, must lo oreasa the numli-r of reBneiles until com petition mks refining worthier. The posture of efllm iu the oil region to-day is directly Iraoeab.e to these causes and effeols only. Too much orude Is tbe result of tbs prices of oil In 1870-71, while the Refioer's Com bination originated In Ibe necessity for cut ting down the refining eapsolty of the coun try nod dividing It equitably, or at least satisfactorily, to Iba different localities the Creek, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Ac. While then the producers were without any effective organization to promote their Interests, a few energetic and able men among tbe refiners got the Combination" Into working order and were able to dam up tbe Increasing production till tbe stooks bore the market down far below a ptytog price, then tbey bought all tbe oil tbey waoted, refined It, and bad 700,000 barrels ready for market at a margin or $2,00 per barrel over and above tbe ordinary profit. The shutting down movement of tbe pro ducers, wbloh seemed foroed upon them to reduce stocks, came just in tbe nick ol time lo enable tbe Refiner's Combination to un load and fill tbelr coffers. Henoelorlh tbe Combiualien has money and prestige and can work far more effectively In tbe future unless obeckmated by tbe Petroleum Pioe ducer's Association or tome similar organi sation. As a means to even temporary sucsese, the SOday movement waa perhaps entitled to a trial. It Is at beet a remedy tbat alle viates only, but does not cure. If we rely on this measure berealter as a speoiflo, tbe Combination will shut ut down and atart us up at its good pleasure. Our opinion Is tbat tbe prosperity of tbe oil regions, bere and elsewhere, lies in tbe consolidation of tbe produolog and r-fiatug: inlereste In tbs person of Ibe producer, and further, tbst tbe place to refine oil Is just where you Bod It. We will suppose that the Individual en terprise ol hall a dozen producers lo a dir. trlot, either rents, buys or builds a refinery, and offera to refiue oil of a certain gravity 41, 45, 4 or 47 lor a certain toll, no mat tar If tbe refiner's combination have bought nil tberefioerles in the country nearly with tba avowed objeot ol keeping tbem Idle. It won't require much time to build more, and aa for money, we have enough. No mailer bow It Is done, either by joint stock oompes Dies or private enterprise, so that every dis trict of tbe Petroleum 'Producer's Asaooi e- tioo bat refining eapsolty to refine all tbe crude produced, charging only a fair toll. Tbe refining business will then be confined lo this region, and Its profits will help us to build more railroads for outlets If those here show any disposition lo discriminate in fa vor of ibe Combination. .Every producer in tblacsse will offer only refined oil for tale. Crude' will not be in tbe market. Instead of one boyer the re finer there will be jmt as msny aa there wanting an artificial light. If some such plan aa tblc be adopted, whereby Ibe producer and refiner really have a com mon Interest, and tpeud tbelr money and circulate it In building up tbe country in which tbey live, instead of contributing In the success of rings, corners and combine tloos. whose funds are divided in distant placet, then our prosperity It assured. Cleveland and Pittsburgh may go Into tbe pork trade, and tbe Sbylocks who have fat tended off of as so long may go to work or Into exile for all we care. As producers, then, let ut handle tbe oil from the moment It is pumped Irom tbe earth until It Is filled Into tbe lamp to burn, Let na make every dollar that legitlmttely belooga to the business. Let ns build up tbe petroleum trade nolil In wealth and re touroea it thatl be second to none, aod until this the land of our adoption, aball not be Inferior to any part of our country for Its educatiboal advantages, ill thrifty popular lion and lit manutaeturlng capacities. Moreover, there will arire a moral sent! ment that will frown down tbe gambling practioed In varloua forms by a set of "shy stars" who disgrace the busloess. No ringi no cliques, no combinations, no paper con tracts, but boussty aod fair dealing will be Ibe order of tbe day. William Culleq Bryant and bis son-in-law Parke Godwin, have made $400,000 or $3C0 , 0QQ eaoh out ol the Evening Pott. We are permitted to make ibe following extraet from a letter written by a prom -oent oil buyer of Peiker's'Leoding to D . M. C. Egbert of this place. It gives con slderable light on tbe situatioo ol affiirs In that district on tbe oil question: Themsrkel lo-dsy Oct. 10 has been very qalet, in feet dull. Buyers generally holding off expecting lower prices. Since the election the market has been unlet. led. I think tbat Pittsburgh will have to buy oil soon, In fact tbey are trying lo buy now, but are offering low prioes. At near as 1 can Hod oil Ibe stock is deoressiog prelly fast. The shipments from this district (Parker) has averaged 84 cars a day since first ol the month, equivalent to about 7, 000 barrels a barrels a day. According to tbe best Information I can get there is not over 75,000 barrels crude of available oil for sale, Including all tbe pipe lines, namely, Union, Mutual Antwerp and Falrvlew. From this estimate, and averaging the ship ments at tbe same as bss been since the 1st, in ten days moro our stock is entirely ex hausted. Market may go lower. I expect to tee better prices next week. A Solemn.
